Stressed 😫

Hello, 

So I have this conference thing at college today where we basically have to go and listen to talks and stuff, for unis but I’m so so scared. It’s like my worst nightmare, going to be alone, there is going to be like over 50 people in each room and I can’t handle it 😭 but I need to go because they would just say “awh go for one and it’ll be fine”. My anxiety has been horrible the past couple of days, yesterday I couldn’t even stay in college just sat down on a table never mind going to a talk 😫😫so I don’t know what to do.

    Hey @Past User

    In my head, the best way to approach this would be is to go to this talk (sounds like an leature to me) and if you need to take 5 - 10 minutes to yourself then just leave the room, if the presenter can't come to terms that rooms with that many people can be daunting to some, then he's an pretty shit presenter,

    Hope it goes OK

    Well done for going Butterfly, shows youre strong person and hopefully building your confidence. Can empathise  is not always easy to do when anxiety is so high

    hope youre okay today
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
